Sailcut CAD 1.1

The Sailcut CAD project is pleased to announce release 1.1 of its sail plotting package. This release features several new languages including Russian (thanks to all helpers of the sailing community) and a Wing option for designing kites. The limits checker has been modified to take into account feedback from users, allowing a wider range of sail shapes to be designed. The sail mould screen has been re-designed to provide additional facility like controlling the foot shape which is the central seam of a kite wing, and allowing the use of negative camber in the leech area mostly for fully battened sails or kite wing. Be very careful with this feature on regular sails, the leech may flap.

Some of the translations are incomplete in this release and we are looking for help on that front. The next task is to add a windsurf option and other features like a simplified paper output for those plotting by hand. Fair wind to all!
